Kim vs. Jules

Team one walked out of the briefing room when Sam felt his phone vibrate. Looking down at his cell phone he opened the message

S.O.S L35 5961 IL

Spike walked up beside Sam, "who is the message from?"

"Jules, I think she is running late or something, she was supposed to be back in Toronto about now but she just texted me a license plate number from Illinois."

"I thought she said she was going to California?" Ed enquired

"Yes, however she flew out of and flew into Chicago to quickly visit some other friends of her and then drove back to Toronto." Sam said shaking his head

Alarms started to ring a few seconds later and Winnie moved rapidly around her station checking all the readouts that were coming into her from 911. "Team one hot call! Gun shots have been heard and the caller has witnessed a kidnapping and apparent robbery at a motel out at the West Side City limits."

Sam shut down his cellphone and stuck it back in his pocket before booking it to the armory with the rest of the team.

"Damn, I was hoping this was going to be an easy day, Team 3 has done nothing but brag about how easy Sunday shifts are and the one day we cover for them because of their overtime hours this past week we get called to the city limits." Wordy sighed, "There goes being home for dinner with my family."

Leah shook her head, "It is probably nothing. Crime has been moving into that area and although it hasn't been much, last year the fire dept. responded to several cases gang fights which involved kicking burning trashcans around."

Greg grabbed his gear and walked towards the cars, "Let's just get this done with so we can all go home and be rested for our official shift in the morning."

"Yes Sarge!" Sam belted out

"Good, Sam you are with me." Greg ordered as he went to the lead car.

Sam climbed into the passenger seat and turned on his comm.

As they pulled into the motel parking lot Sam's eyes grew wide as he saw the car that sat there with its trunk wide open, "that is Jule's car!"

"I know, I know!" Greg sighed as he pulled into the parking lot, "Alright team, Leah and Ed investigate the car, Spike set up a command post. Wordy come with me and let's see what we can find out about the situation. Sam you had contact last with Jules please try to establish contact with her just to see if she is alright and that this was all a mistake."

Wordy joined Greg and they walked to the motel's office where they were met with the girl who had been manning the counter. "I didn't get to see it all. With the growing crime rate around here my boss has ordered that every hour and every time we hear anything sounding like a gun we are to lock any funds up in a safe room. I came out in time to see a white man put a woman into his trunk and then take something from her trunk."

"Do you have any security cameras?" Greg asked

"They broke last week; my boss is only concerned with making money, not spending it to fix anything he doesn't think as a necessity. I did however get a picture on my cell phone, it's not the greatest but I feel it was something I could offer." The girl explained holding out her phone which displayed a picture of a guy.

"Wordy!" Greg ordered

"Got it boss!" Wordy took the phone carefully and went out to find Spike at the command van.

"Hey, that was my phone!" the girl frowned

"Next time you want to help us out, don't use your personal phone because then we have to confiscate it." Greg said shaking his head as he walked out of the office.

Sam leaned against the van, "I haven't gotten any answer from her house and her friends haven't seen her. Ed just found her phone tossed into the backseat switched off."

Ed searched through the car, "I can't tell if there is anything missing although her secret compartment where she locked her gun when off duty is open but after coming back from out of the country I can't imagine it would have been in there."

"So are you saying the man probably took nothing but he was looking for something?" Greg asked

"No, from that picture you got, the guy did have something. It looks like a stack of papers and maybe a wallet." Spike reported from in the van as he examined the photo. "Picture however is too grainy to get an accurate Identification off of our guy."

"Jules texted me with a license plate just before we got this hot call." Sam said pulling up his prior text messages, "Illinois plate number L35 5961."

"Running the number now but it is going to take time because that is an American plate number." Spike announced, "Winnie can you contact anyone State side, if this guy was in the states he might have a criminal record there."

Winnie announced from the SRU, "Contacting now, I will see what I can do."

"Ed did you just hear something?" Leah asked as she did another search through the car.

Ed reached down under the driver's seat and pulled out a second cellphone. "Boss we have a second phone that was under the driver's seat."

Sam looked at the phone that was being brought over, "That isn't Jule's phone; Ed found that in the back seat when you first searched."

Greg took the phone and opened it while looking at the number on the screen, "Does anyone know a Tommy Oliver or any reason why they would be texting Jules with the message,

Kim, I haven't heard from you yet, you said you would message me when you were leaving the country. White Knight.

"Let's see what this guy has to say about Jule's disappearance." Greg announced as he went into the van and had Spike dial in the number through the SRU's line.

Hello, this is Dr. Thomas Oliver, how can I help you?"

"Dr. Oliver this is Sargent Greg Parker with the Toronto Police Strategic Response unit. We are responding to a case where one of our Constable's has gone missing while off duty and your number shows up in her car on an unidentified cell phone." Greg asked over the phone.

"It's Kim; they finally found her and kidnapped her. She was worried something like this might happen. I urged her several times to stop coming out of hiding in order to see Annie and I."

"Could you please, tell me who this Kim is; and why she would be with our Constable?" Greg asked over the phone.

"No, you aren't under-standing me Constable Juliana Callahan is Kimberly Ann Hart, my ex-girlfriend, she has been with me most of the last week, it was for our daughter's birthday."

Spike jerked his head around as he heard that comment come through the speakers and Greg shushed down any comments.

"She had never told you about her double life did she?"

"No, this is the first time I am hearing this, do you have any information on who may have kidnapped her?"

"You could try interviewing her entire hate committee. If you would like I can be on the next flight to Toronto and I may be able to help you locate her."

"I don't think that will be completely necessary, however if you like you may come up here and we can sort out any misunderstandings and make sure we are both talking about the same person."

"I will see you then, Sargent, till then; just find her please. I am worried about what people may do to her. Some people are just crazy."

"I have your number if we find anything out before you reach Canada, I will make sure to let you know." Greg hung up the phone before making contact with the SRU, "Winnie, any luck getting any help from the State's"

"Yes, Boss, an agency state side is running the plate numbers for you; do you want me to get any information on your mysterious caller?"

"That would be very helpful, I would like to know how this all pieces together and make sure this guy isn't the one holding Jules."

Spike leaned back, "I was able to partially trace that call and it was definitely coming from a mobile phone that is definitely not in the country right now."

Greg talked into his headpiece again, "Winnie, if the guy who has Jules is trying to run could you please have his car flagged so that border patrol won't pass it through inspection?"

Leah walked in, "You mentioned something over the phone about a Kimberly Hart."

"What do you have for me Leah?" Greg asked turning around.

"Remember the article from the beginning of the week about the Cinderella Athlete; her name was Kimberly Ann Hart."

"Alright Winnie did you get that, see if you can get anything using either of those names that connect to Jules."

"Already on it Boss, sending the information state side as we speak."

"There is an APB out on a car matching the license plate now Boss." Spike announced as he finished sending the information out to uniforms.

"Boss, that car is a rental out of O'Hare International airport; it was registered to a Bruce Livingston however the only Bruce Livingston that is on record is a ninety year old Alzheimer patient in Augusta Maine."

"Thank you Winnie, have you gotten anything back from our other guy?" Greg asked

"Yes, Dr. Thomas Oliver is a Paleontologist who works as a high school science teacher. He lives in Reefside California and has a daughter Listed as Annie Hart-Oliver who is thirteen. Dr. Oliver doesn't have a criminal record; he adopted Annie from her grandparent's in France when she was six. Her biological mother is listed as Kimberly Ann Hart. I also have a summery about Kimberly, she is commonly referred to as the Cinderella Athlete and also does not have a criminal record however she has had a record of calling the cops repeatedly on points of public harassment however her calls stopped when she essentially disappeared in two thousand one. Nothing on either of them that connects them to Jules."

"We have a hit; someone just found our car it is headed east into the city on The Queensway." Spike announced.
